I don't agree with EVERYTHING in the article such as getting 2 big rather than multiple smaller, this is really just a cost/requirement issue though.

The biggest cost I've noticed with enterprises who go full cloud is that they are locked in for the long term. I don't mean contractually though, basically the way they design and implement any system or service MUST follow the providers "way" this can be very detrimental for leaving the provider or god forbid the provider decides to sunset certain service versions etc.

That said, for enterprise it can make a lot of sense and the article covers it well by admitting some "clouds" are beneficial.

For anything I've ever done outside of large businesses the go to has always been "if it doesn't require a SRE to maintain, just host your own".
